The over-use of question marks is a pet hate. You cannot make a sentence more of a question than another question, so why use more than one?
Other per hates??????????

The use of many exclamation marks makes me smile. They are often used in aggressive posts but they are hardly going to frighten anyone are they |

I agree. It's often a measure of how angry someone is.
Back to question marks, why do some people use them when they're not asking a question? |

This site has an awful lot of subscribers, and therefore a cross-section of society. Society clearly isn't that bright so you just have to ignore it all and get on with it in truth.
It winds me up too, but I just don't speak to the people that aren't particularly well engaged with their own brains. |

Hey, punctuation can make all the difference. 2 examples:
I helped my uncle jack off a horse.
I helped my uncle, jack off a horse.

No they don't read the same.
The use of the comma makes the difference in the second sentence.
If we were grammar nazis....IF..... then it should be from his horse.. |

That's not quite correct. I posted this a few months back on another thread. It's:
I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse.
or
I helped my uncle jack off a horse.
Missing off the capital letters changes the sentence not a comma. |

I don't like that either.
My little gripe isn't about punctuation but I don't like the letter h pronounced as haitch - it makes my teeth feel funny.
I'm not fond of "of" being used instead of "have" either.

I think a nice fringe of chintz looks good as a cover for an apostrophe. ........ |

It's pushed some of the detail on the summary page off the right hand side.
With no spaces in the title it reads as one long word. |
